SAFETY-RAZOR.-

Specification ofLetters Patent.

Patented July 6, 1909.

l To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOSEPH STOLPER, a

4citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city, county, and State of New York,

have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Safety-Razors, of which the following is a specication.

My invention relates to'improvements in safetyrazors and the objectthereof is to provide an economical and simple 'razor of the safety type in which the blade may be readily lremoved and the razor cleaned. By arranging a front andback support for the blade whichare hinged to open longitudinally 'the blade may be properly held for use with a double protection and the blade may be readily removed for cleaning. Furthermore in -my improved razor, the arrangement is such that it may be handled in use' similar to the oldvstyle or plain razor andthe Whole device, except the blade, is a unit andv need only Vbe opened on its hinge without separating its parts. The blades are removab e and may be renewed from time to time.

hereinafter.

In the drawings forming a part of this application, Figure 1 is-a plan view of my improved razor, partly broken away, Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the frame open, Fig. 3 is a cross section taken on the linev 3 3 of Fig. 1, and F ig; 4 is a plan view of a blade.

The holder is formed of two members 1 and 2, which are hinged by a hinge 3 at one end so that both sections'may be opened for the reception 0f la blade; an the two sections'l and 2 form front and rear guards for the blade to protect the user and to form a substantial backing for the blade, which is ref- One o the mem ers, preferably 1, is rovided with means for holding such as the andle 4 which is preferably formed integral therewith and continuous therewith, though the handle may be varied. I have provided the mem'- A'ber'l with serrated guard teeth 5 and 6 along its edges which serve to protect the edges of The details ofconstrction of one embdiy ment of my invention will appear more fully the blade 7, on the side away from the face of the user and these serratins, when the blade is in place, extend slightly beyond -the cut-- The other member.

ting edges of the latter. 2, of the frame preferably has straight edges 18 which do not extend quite as far out as the ends of the serrations 5 and 6, thus leaving a polrtion ofthe cuttingedges of the blade eX ose(.

' lhe hinge 3 I'have providedwith a sprin y 8, which surrounds the pin of the hinge an has onen end 9 ressing against the `frame member 2 and t e other against the frame member 1 to `force them apart. catch for holding the frame closed, which I have formed of'a slidin pin 11,in a recess in the handle, which is orced forward by a spring 12 to cause it to enter a recess 13 in the member 2, to lock the frame members closed. The catch may be released by ulling back the knob 14 which is secured to the pin 1 1.

I rovide pins or posts 15,-which are preferab y carried by the member 1, which pass through the apertures 16 "of the blade 7 for There 1s a cesses 17 in the member 2 for the reception of the pins or posts 15, the frame mem should 'there be any play in the hinge. I prefer to form the frame members concavoconvex as shown, so that the blade will be gripped near the edges and so the surface of the frame coming against the face will be curved. l

A razor embodying the above-features may be made at little expense, the'blades are in'- terchangeable and may be readily removed parts ofthe frame.

`The relative arran be changed without 0f my invention. V

Having described my invention what I claim is: i

In a safety razor, the combination of a plu'- ement oftheparts may eparting ,fromthelspint ers are held against any lateral disarrangement,`

for cleaning without having to any;

gitudinally and to hold a. blade between them, n lumdle on one of Sad frame members :t .spring adapted to open the other of said frame members und e catch located near the juncture of the frame member und handle und ccnsistinvf of e reciprocating pin adapted to be moved ongitudinully into engegement with the opening frame member und having a projvetmg linger p1ece :nul a spring adapted to hold said pin in engagement with said 10 JOSEPH STOLPICR.
